    Upgrading consumer unit with SPD & RCBOs

    This Youtube video from John Ward is similar to my setup but in a smaller garage unit configuration. It's reassuring that my approach seems correct! Please feel welcome to share any other advice or comments :giggle: thanks

    Upgrading consumer unit with SPD & RCBOs

    The Wylex consumer unit installation guide provides specific guidance on fitting the busbar, i.e. insert above cables on the isolator switch. I would have inserted it under the cables so I guess there is good reason for it. The illustration from guide is very similar to what I am trying to...

    Upgrading consumer unit with SPD & RCBOs

    Ta, I've updated the diagram to show the RCBO terminals correctly. For simplicity, I am intentionally not showing the downstream circuit connections.

    Upgrading consumer unit with SPD & RCBOs

    I am about to upgrade my Wylex consumer unit to increase the number of ways for future expansion and to include SPD surge protection and a new circuit for a garden shed using an RCBO. I have a query about the bus bar connections when introducing the RCBO and SPD. From what I understand the...

    Draka SWA cable any good?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I also did some digging online and found they have consolidated with Prysmian, which is a well respected UK cable manufacturer.

    Draka SWA cable any good?

    I found a good price for Draka SWA 10mm (part of Prysmian Group) however it's not commonly sold with electrical distributors. I was wondering whether it is any good? Datasheet attached.

    "Facility Code" Honeywell Galaxy Flex DCM

    Honeywell probably works under the assumption the majority purchase wiegand card readers with a "fixed" facility code rather than passing through the facility code and allowing the panel to authorise it.

    "Facility Code" Honeywell Galaxy Flex DCM

    @GalaxyGuy yes I have the same screen in RSS however it remains greyed out even with the DCM online. That said, this configuration option is only to modify the card bit string format and there is no actual field to enter the facility code number itself. An old Honeywell technical bulletin for...

    "Facility Code" Honeywell Galaxy Flex DCM

    It seems rather odd this feature is not supported in a security panel that supports access control. I will try programming the facility code directly into the HID reader using the integrated keypad. Extract from the HID application notes; Or alternatively I will add dual authorisation with a...

    "Facility Code" Honeywell Galaxy Flex DCM

    @GalaxyGuy have you ever programmed a "facility code" into a Honeywell Galaxy Flex panel with a DCM module and HID iClass reader? Can't seem to find an option for configuring it anywhere.

    Honeywell TouchCenter Plus camera support?

    Using ONVIF/RTSP is possible, however somewhat limited due to the number of characters (23) that can be entered into the address field. For example; rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1&unicast=true&proto=Onvif is just too long to fit. Oddly when using Honeywell cameras...
